still February

The weather took a turn for the worse and we had a few days of snow, but now it is improving again. I drove down to Ourense on Monday, the countryside looks positively autumnal here, between, the bracken and the dead leaves still on the oak trees, but closer to Ourense the hills are all yellow as the Mimosa is in flower, very spring like.

Spring!!

Actually it isn't spring but it feels like it! I have been pruning my fruit trees, they haven't been pruned for years so they have branches growing more than 20 feet into the air with the result that I can't pick the fruit.

These are the pear trees now!

The young plum trees, hopefully I will get some fruit from these this year.

I have also planted some strawberry plants here as well so I hope I will have a fruitful summer.
